Netivot resident, 65, indicted after spying for Iran in exchange for $41,000
|
[IsraelTimes] The State Attorney’s Office files an indictment at the Beersheba District Court on charges of treason against Eduard Yusupov, a 65-year-old resident of Netivot, for having allegedly conducted spying activities on behalf of Iran.
Yusupov carried out various acts of espionage for an Iranian agent and received $41,000 in payment for his work, offenses which carry with them sentences of up to 15 years in prison.
According to the indictment, Yusupov, an immigrant who came to Israel from Azerbaijan, contacted an old acquaintance of his by the name of Tair in November 2024, who introduced him to a man called Mousa.
Mousa claimed to be seeking to open a business in Israel but was an Iranian agent and, communicating via WhatsApp, gave Yusupov a series of spying missions to carry out.
At Mousa’s request, Yusupov collected, photographed, and documented sensitive information about “national infrastructure sites” around the country, including IDF bases, military sites in the Negev, the Haifa port, as well as parks, libraries, zoos, and commercial and leisure centers.
Yusupov also rented an apartment for Mousa in Hafia with a view of the port from where he photographed ships and industrial chimneys in the port zone.
The indictment notes that Yusupov was careful to work in secret and operated with caution in order not to be discovered.
“The accused committed security offenses at a time when the State of Israel was conducting one of the toughest wars it has known, on multiple fronts, including against Iran,” the prosecutors wrote in the indictment.
“The accused suspected that Mousa was a foreign agent who was hostile to the State of Israel but continued to cooperate with him.”
Yusupov is charged with transmitting information to an enemy to harm state security, transmitting information to an enemy designed to assist them, contact with a foreign agent, and demonstrating a decision to commit treason.
